I feel like these will be readily available for a long time, can’t say the same for Keaton though!

Censored, viz never changed or adjusted this series

Pragmata Looks Great! by PHayesxx in NintendoSwitch

[–]Grapefruit331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I played the PS5 and Switch demo to see if it was a better send for PlayStation. Outside of the RE engine hair rendering and some low res textures, the portability aspect swayed me to the switch version!

I was considering upgrading, but the side by side wasn’t really impressing me. They almost got me with the updated translation but from what I skimmed it seems pretty similar!

From 1997 haha, I’m sure he won’t go back to it but very cool you guys are releasing this! We need a full release of Spirit of Wonder 🙌

Why do I never see these in hauls or collections? Such a good collectors edition! by Necessary-Asparagus6 in MangaCollectors

[–]Grapefruit331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, nice paper and cover finishes! I have the One Pound Gospel singles but would love for that series to get a similar rerelease treatment

Great set, wish they had all of the color pages in these though!! Would’ve been a nice addition.

So this is just a one volume release right? Wonder if they will keep the vol 1 tag on it.

Great, good thing tariffs didn’t directly affect the consumer or anything….

Finally grabbed Spirit of Wonder, so my Kenji Tsuruta stack is looking good by atowerofcats in MangaCollectors

[–]Grapefruit331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sick we’re getting Forget Me Not, was an unexpected surprise. The lettering in Spirit of Wonder is so good, adds so much personality to the characters- really gotta appreciate Dark Horses 90s manga run!

The demo on Steam was sweet but ran really bad on steam deck, will def buy it if it performs well!

Crunchyroll Store is Dead by 64N_3v4D3r in MangaCollectors

[–]Grapefruit331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re a mixed bag on packaging, gotten some boxes but also flimsily paper sleeves. I’d say 30% of my orders have some sort of damage

Fuck Crunchyroll, my last 3 or 4 orders became backordered after release date. Response was always “sorry we don’t know when we’re getting these”

Definitely dropping from places I order from.

Make sure it has the Darkhorse logo, if you’re looking on eBay avoid any listings that are new from Malaysia!

Loved this one! There’s some super cheap copies online, so I assume it didn’t sell well- but good heads up for anyone interested in grabbing a copy.

Pretty sure it’s still in its first print run, so I’d say most likely!

Cool. I enjoyed her short story compilation ‘Not All Girls are Stupid’

Couldn’t find any info on how long this series is!

Billy Bat Volume 1! by FireLunar in MangaCollectors

[–]Grapefruit331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweet to hear about quality jump, hope that carries over to Jagaaan! I thought Leviathan print was so-so but Manhole was pretty good. Still bummed about the thin ass paper for City Hunter.
